From RotoWorld Brian N. Anderson Brian Anderson's conversion from outfielder to pitcher has gone well thus far. The right-hander boasts a 1.46 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 11/4 K/BB ratio over 12 1/3 innings between Rookie ball, Low-A and Triple-A. He threw two scoreless innings in his first appearance at Triple-A Thursday. "He’s definitely throwing major-league stuff," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "He’s got his fastball up to 97 mph. His comfort zone is at 95. He’s throwing a 50 slider (on a scale of 20 to 80), which is a major-league average slider. His command is at 45, which is just a tick below." GM Dayton Moore said he didn't know if Anderson would be under consideration for a September callup or not.

From The Hardball Times, an interesting article about Jones. "I am, however, bringing up this comparison to note two things. The first, and the most obvious and talked-about in the past, is that perhaps Jones isn't completely done after all." "The second point of the comparison is to say that Jones may have positioned himself not only to succeed in 2010, but to market himself as a starting option in free agency next year."
